Resumo: The whole of the dissertation reflects on the lush forest, rivers and the wealth of the Amazon ethos as divine creations, which are subjected to forms of destruction imposed by technological advance and globalization. Degradation and destruction of ecosystems generate an inhuman reality, marking the ecological collapse of humanity. The exploration of ecosystems and the disrespect for human dignity consolidate and extend deep social inequalities, as manifested by the increasing misery of the urban peripheries and the chronic poverty of the countryside. The concerns caused by these realities, whose evidence is incontrovertible evidence of a concrete situation, are questions motivating the research. In focusing on them as reflective content for theology, the questions turned into hypotheses inferred: the Amazonian myths, in their symbolic expressions, synthesize and express principles (criteria) for defense of life and the environment, especially as regards water resources? They can become meeting points for reflection of moral theology, in their task of criticizing and help in ethical procedures, before the destructive processes in the Amazon region? In base of the new Amazon environment in light of theological ethics, the research makes the application of defensive force of nature removed from Amazon and imaginary, in the light of biblical texts, recognizing their contributions by offering ethical values and the urgency to apply them in combat impending ecological collapse. These principles are embodied in the consideration of water as a source of life. They advertise at the same time, a "respectful solution" for all creation and support for critical analysis of reality by means of theological ethics; postulate for humanity re-invention of Life from a ethical and theological focus. Thus, the research helps to define some functions that theology must take in face of reality conflict, which has the Amazon region as a paradigm for real, foremost among them, to justify the value of human life and renew hope in those who fight for longing to see the renewed creation in harmony and peace
